7/6/08 Hickory has been adopted!

UPDATE 3/02/08-Great news, Hickory is doing great and should be coming home within the next day or two! Thanks to everyone who kept Hickory in their minds!
UPDATE 3/01/08-Good news as Hickory is doing much better. He had a comfortable night, and has been passing some Manure. They have decreased the amount of IV fluids as well. We had decided that if needed, Hickory was a canidate for colic surgery since he is so young and has the rest of his life to look forward to. Colics surgery if needed can run anywhere from $3500-$10000, but averages around $5000. We are so happy that as of right now, it does not look like he will need surgery. We will update as we get them from the vet! Thank You to everyone who kept Hickory in your thoughts.
UPDATE 2/29/08-Hickory was rushed to the vet clinic this afternoon after showing signs of Colic. Upon examination it is determined the he has a badly distended colon or possible colon displacement. He had a belly tap which showed no signs of rupture. There is a possibility that he may need colic surgery. He is currently being treated with IV fluids and will spend the night at the clinic. Please keep Hickory in your prayers tonight. He has already been thru so much, his condition will be updated in the morning, please check out Shiloh's Blog for updates!
